    Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
    Classic rock sounds from a classic band! Bon Jovi's monster hit from the '80s comes alive in this powerful chart that builds with intensity from beginning to end. The final chorus and key change really kicks it into high gear. Let it roar!

      @@andylopez0731 I think that's the original recording's key. For this version, the original key is B-Flat Minor; they just forgot to put a G-Flat as part of the key signature. When they go up to C-Minor, they do the same thing with the A-Flats. Adding insult to injury, they forgot to add G-Flats to their arrangement of "Pour Some Sugar on Me," from Def Leppard's _Hysteria_ album.

    • @crazygermn
      @crazygermn 8 років тому

      +Tyler That's a personal decision you're going to have to make for yourself. Some people only cue important entrances and focus on dynamic form and emotional interpretation. Some people will stick with a cue and subdivide the line with the players for a few bars, especially in measures with triplet or syncopated rhytms.

    • @crazygermn
      @crazygermn 8 років тому

      Tyler
      For this piece, I would recommend cuing the percussion at the beginning then quickly prepping for the chord at measure 2 before cuing the crescendos. Maybe cue the 8ths at measure 9, and the chord at measure 14. Definitely move body to cue a different section of the band as they come in at 18. Cue the cutoff and big entrance at 34. Maybe the rips and runs from the horns in this section. Cue the chords and maybe the rips leading up to 46. 59 is the same as 34 but in a different key, so maybe do something visually to reflect this change. Cue the hell out of those hits in the last 3 bars. Though cues are a very detailed technical thing, the best thing for an audition would be work on developing a confident presence in front of the band.
      As the field judges would say, hope my comments have been helpful and good luck.

    Next year, if our teacher decides not to have a band, I’ll have to organize one. I will attempt to at least.
